Is enemies that respawn every five minutes a problem for you?Quote:

Is either answer really acceptable?
That was all I needed to not jump on that deal and I enjoyed Far Cry.
Far Cry 2 is awful. Once you get past the great graphics/atmosphere, fun combat/driving mechanics, and awesome fire effect, you realize that there's nothing else. That's the game. You drive and shoot, start fires, and gaze at vistas. For like a billion hours.
I don't know hot to interpret what you just said.
So, is it good? Or, does it have three things that are awesome on top of tons of super terrible shit?
I don't know if I would say it is super terrible shit because it's practically nothing. The game drops you in a huge open world and tells you to start fires and shoot guards at road checkpoints. Then, the fires go away, the guards respawn, and you do it all again. Hundreds of times.
There are missions but they are just thinly laid on top and are pretty annoying. The AI buddies are assholes who don't live very long. It's just an infuriating game. Infuriating because the 500th time you have to clear a checkpoint will drive you nuts and infuriating because there is enough there to make a truly incredible game.
Just got Dead Rising 2. Didn't play much Dead Rising 1, but this seems better already.
Take the waterways in FarCry 2 and you can avoid 90% of the respawning enemy checkpoints. I like the game. It's a bizarre attempt at a mainstream-friendly Stalker. The repetitive missions and the constant respawns are a problem, but I think the strengths of the game (very well described by Diff) more than make up for such issues. I'd say that it's well worth $5.
Also on sale is the original Far Cry. A way, way, way better game.
